a curious history. Many years ngo, ns
Bismnrck was strolling iu tho suburbs
of Friodoricbsruh with his two hounds,
ho was accosted by a Bohemian peddler
and asked to buy a pluiu meerschaum
pipo of tho typo that Bismarck most af
fected. At first Bismarck declined, but
tho poddlur claimed for the pipo a power
of forecast and told hira ho would serve
three emperors as minister, and that
throe important changes in his life
Would be foretold by accidents befalling
the pipe.
Laughing, Bismarck bought tho pipe.
He has since served three emperors.
Two days before the historic momeut
when he was refused an audience the
stem of his pipe seporatod and went to
pieces. Loiter he chipped a piece from
the side of the bowl, and within
month he was praotically dismissed by
tho present emperor. The third sign has

A knvass is a native servant appoint

A curious case of "mimicry" has
been noticed on tho coast near Manilla,
iu tho Philippine islands. The seeds of
a bean fall among quiu ta pebbles, and
so closely resemble them in shape, size,

as to bo diHtinguisluiblo from them only
by a very clone examination. The beans
range from a third of an inch to nn inch
in size, and vary greatly iu shapo also,
some resembling well ronuded beach
pebbles and others mimio pebbles that
have been broken across. The oolor
Varies from dark to light drab, some

The Duo d'Aumalo onoe challenged
Prince Napoleon to a duel on account
of something the latter hod said against
the Orleanista. The prince refused to
fight and was therefore reckoned a oow

on Lconide Loblano, the famous actress,
at an hour when the duke chanced al
ready to be there. "Tell the prince,"
said she to the footman, "that I am en
gaged, but only with the Duo d'Aumale,
so he msyoome right in. " But the
prince did not go in. Nor did he ever
go in again, for whenever he called
thereafter he was told that she was en
